Experience Behind the Work
My work has centered on helping businesses and individuals bring ideas to life through thoughtful web development, photography, and practical technical support. Over 12+ years as a senior WordPress developer and full-stack engineer, I’ve built custom CMS platforms, e-commerce solutions, Shopify experiences, and cloud-based systems, with strengths in WordPress architecture, PHP/JavaScript development, and AI-driven workflow automation. Across every role, the goal has stayed the same: turn complex needs into secure, maintainable solutions, communicate clearly, and create polished work that feels approachable from start to finish.
